I love ht figures, I think there's not in theyr's work any toysh appearence. But this Ben is not Ben in my opinion. Really a great sculpt but not Ben. SS painting is really poor, but with a great repainting the sculpt of theyr ben become awesome. Really impressive IMO. Some great collector here have done an awesome job on the ben sculpt. I also have to say that ben look at the right height compared with luke (another great hot toys figure). So I've to think that Vader is really too big. But we have to wait some in hands picture for the last judgement.
If you go with a top-level painter (which it needs) the repaint alone could cost more than the entire HT figure.
